The only things we'd add would be some hooks on the bedroom doors for jackets, some coasters? (we weren't sure whether it was OK to put hot drinks on the tables) and perhaps some lighter-weight duvets for summer/early autumn. The owner happened to be in Sewerby and came out very promptly to the couple of problems we did have, one of which was fixed there and then (the leaking radiator) - the other will be looked at under the holiday home's warranty (faulty lock on the patio doors). The only other thing we'd highlight is that the rubber cover for the key box leaks black colour on your hands (and it looked like the colour had been running down the wall in the rain too), so it might be an idea to replace that with another sort of cover. The location of the holiday home on the site was lovely, not far from the woods where some deer lived - the only disturbance was from the construction of another holiday home a little way to the back of ours, which will happen from time to time on a developing site. We liked that the home's outdoor area was fully enclosed by fencing and a gate so that our dog could safely be allowed outside and we could have the patio doors open. Lovely base for visiting Filey, Bridlington (walking distance or on the land-train), the local nature reserves and beaches (Danes Dyke NR is also walking distance) and of course Sewerby Hall & Gardens which is right next door.

Short walk to Sewerby and the land train to Bridlington. Really had a good time. The instructions to get to the site were good, but we struggled once on site. The WiFi password under the router did not work.

Having visited the site previously when we stayed in a different property I knew from the photos of Rock on Tommy exactly where it was, but for anyone visiting for the first time I would respectfully suggest that more detailed information be given as to where on the site the cottage is (ie turn a sharp right at the end of the drive just before you reach the clubhouse, go straight past the driving range and carry straight on past the first turn right, Rock on Tommy (No33) is the last cottage on the right before you reach the next turn right at the stone wall. The only items we would suggest for you to add in the cottage are salt & pepper pots we looked all over but couldnât find any. Also both toilet seats were loose and needed tightening up as they moved when you sat on them. Other than that it was perfect and we would definitely visit again.
